Title: fame of shame! my first butterfly
Post by: tux_linux on January 03, 2011, 04:10:06 pm

Hey!

I recently complained about my saw and some vibrations (Clickedy (http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=4059.0)).

I saw Marshall have done a butterfly really beautifully and tonight I tried to go for the high goal and to try the butterfly myself. I changed the size a bit - it's 8" x 8". Took me about 2 hours of fun in the wood shop. it's 1/8" birch ply and a piece of beech for the body.

And here it is:

Of courses not as good as Marshall's butterfly!
But hey, it looks neat and made me convinced of what I'm doing  :)
Need to apply oil tomorrow.

now it's time to wash the dust of and get a beer...

regards,
Torsten

That looks wonderful, Torsten!  (And let me welcome you to the site!) Two hours is a great time for someone so new!  I think it is really cool that you are so enthusiastic about scrolling and you will find that the people here are the BEST!  We have a great group who are always willing to help each other. 

Congratulations on your beautiful project!  I hope to see many, many more from you!

Sheila :)

Hey Torsten,
It looks absolutely great. If this is your first I wonder what your later projects will look like. Glad you enjoy what you are doing.

Torsten, it looks like your vibration is under control. Excellent job on the butterfly. I am glad you found scrolling and this forum, It only gets better and better. Thanks for posting the pic.

thank you.

Yes, vibrations are under control, partly minimized, partly did I get used to them.

regards,
Torsten
